I've noticed that his pass-pro has indeed improved but I fear his draft stock will fall as he does not appear to have the same agility and explosiveness as last year. I actually went back and watched his 2017 highlights and subsequently watched all of his runs this past weekend against USC and I think there is a noticeable difference in his abilty to cut and make the initial defender miss.
Chris Johnson was sub 200 pounds essentially his entire NFL career and was listed at 191 pounds during his 2009 season when he ran for over 2,000 yards.
Bryce seemed to still have great "straight-line" speed on the 59 yard run but not the same agility and initial burst. I think he is more effective and more of a difference maker at his 2017 weight.
